<p>This year was my fith <a href="http://fosdem.org">FOSDEM</a>, I started to go there in 2007 which happens to be the turn in my relationship with Fedora. In 2007 I met at FOSDEM a lot of great guys <a href="http://blog.mrtomlinux.org/">Thomas</a>, <a href="http://blog.ulysses.fr/">Johan</a>, Eddy33, <a href="http://spevack.livejournal.com/">Max</a>, <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bouska">Pablo</a> and many other. They made me what I am today, a contributor to Fedora, RPM packager, vice-president of the Fedora-Fr NPO. FOSDEM is for all those reasons a very special event for me.</p>
<p>This year again FOSDEM has been great. <a href="http://blog.mrtomlinux.org/">Thomas</a>, <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/NicolasChauvet">Nicolas</a> and <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pingou">I</a> have met <a href="http://www.jaredsmith.net/">Jared</a> and <a href="http://spevack.livejournal.com/">Max</a> to speak about the <a href="http://www.fedora-fr.org">French community</a> and <a href="http://asso.fedora-fr.org">Fedora-Fr NPO</a>. There has been some changes on Red Hat side regarding the Fedora trademark and it is our turn now to take it into account. I am glad we could speak face to face about this topic with Max and Jared. Face to face meeting is by far better than a long thread of email where emotion can so easily get involved.
Thanks to Jared and Max to take time to discuss about this with us!</p>
<p>But FOSDEM is also a really good place to meet people. Over the last months I have been hanging around the Fedora-Java guys and I was really pleased to meet <a href="http://inputvalidation.blogspot.com/">Stanislav</a> and <a href="http://akurtakov.blogspot.com/">Alexander</a> (although we realized that last year Alexander and I had been dinning at the same table). It was also nice to meet again <a href="http://dodji.blogspot.com/search/label/english">Dodji</a> with who we had a heat discussion git vs mercurial, <a href="http://fhornain.wordpress.com/">Frederic</a> present this year as always, <a href="http://dimitris.glezos.com/weblog/">Dimitri</a> sorrry for your bag dude, <a href="http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/">Nicu</a> and of course our two tunisian ambassadors who made it to Brussels which few days earlier was not something they were sure of.</p>
<p>I have not assisted to any conference this year (except the one from Stanislav on Java packaging) but it was really nice to meet you all guys !</p>
<p>I am already looking forward for next year, or maybe even the next EMEA FUDcon to see you all again!</p>

<p><strong><em>french version</em></strong></p>
<p>Cette année j'ai été à mon cinquième <a href="http://fosdem.org">FOSDEM</a> (à la suite!). Tout à commencé avec le FOSDEM de 2007 qui a été certainement le moment clé dans mon histoire avec Fedora. Cette année là j'y ai rencontré <a href="http://blog.mrtomlinux.org/">Thomas</a>, <a href="http://blog.ulysses.fr/">Johan</a>, Eddy33, <a href="http://spevack.livejournal.com/">Max</a>, <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bouska">Pablo</a>, et bien d'autre. Et c'est certainement grâce à eux que je suis là où je suis aujourd'hui, contributeur de Fedora, packager de RPM, vice-président de l'association Fedora-fr. C'est pour tout cela que le FOSDEM reste pour moi un évênement à part.</p>
<p>Cette année encore le FOSDEM a été vraiment bien. <a href="http://blog.mrtomlinux.org/">Thomas</a>, <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/NicolasChauvet">Nicolas</a> et <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pingou">moi</a> avons pu rencontré <a href="http://www.jaredsmith.net/">Jared</a> et <a href="http://spevack.livejournal.com/">Max</a> pour parler de la <a href="http://www.fedora-fr.org">communauté francophone</a> et de l'<a href="http://asso.fedora-fr.org">association Fedora-fr</a>. Il y a eu depuis une paire d'année des changements du côté de Red Hat par rapport à la marque Fedora et c'est maintenant notre tour d'être concerné par ces changements.
Mais en parler en face à face avec Max et Jared est tellement plus productif et agréable qu'un long échange d'emails où l'on peut si facilement mal interpréter les intentions.
Merci à Jared et Max pour avoir pris le temps de discuter de ça avec nous !</p>
<p>Le FOSDEM est aussi pour moi une occasion de rencontrer des gens. Cette année n'y a pas fait défaut. Ces derniers mois j'ai pas mal trainé avec les gars de fedora-java et ça a été un plaisir que de rencontrer <a href="http://inputvalidation.blogspot.com/">Stanislav</a> et <a href="http://akurtakov.blogspot.com/">Alexander</a> (même si on c'est apperçut qu'en fait Alexander et moi avons diner à la même table l'année dernière).
J'ai pu revoir aussi <a href="http://dodji.blogspot.com/search/label/english">Dodji</a> (avec qui il y a eu un gros trol git vs mercurial), <a href="http://fhornain.wordpress.com/">Frederic</a> toujours aussi fidèle au poste, <a href="http://dimitris.glezos.com/weblog/">Dimitri</a> (désolé pour ton sac man), <a href="http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/">Nicu</a> et bien sûr nos deux ambassadeurs tunisien qui ont pu faire le déplacement malgré les évênements politique récent.</p>
<p>Je n'ai assisté qu'à la conf de Stanislav sur le packaging Java mais je dois dire que ça été vraiment sympa de vous rencontrer tous.</p>
<p>J'ai déjà hâte d'être à l'année prochaine, ou peut être même au prochain FUDCon en Europe pour vous revoir tous !</p>Fosdem 2010 Day 2 (End)urn:md5:e9338f6f2eb8cfebb497c7da36eded032010-02-07T19:47:00+00:002010-02-07T21:12:16+00:00Pierre-YvesGénéralFedoraFOSDEMFOSDEM 2010<p>Back on FOSDEM 2010</p>
<p>La fin du FOSDEM 2010</p> <p><strong><em>English version</em></strong></p>
<p>There we are, on the way back home.<br />
These 2 days have been really nice, this event is attracting every year more and more people and covers more and more topics.</p>
<p>Today I have been able to attend 2 very interesting conferences. One from Richard Hughes on PackageKit one year after. It is a very good tool and the future of it, looks really nice.
After that I stayed for the talk on 'Semantic Desktop' this being a technology that I have professionally interest in. The conferences covered a quick introduction to the basis of the semantic technology and format with a quick presentation of the RDF format, the second part was more applied to the implication of the semantic technology in the development of the 'Desktop Environment'. Unfortunately time was running I could not stay to this part.<br />
I have to say that I would love to see more conference about this, but FOSDEM is probably not the best place for that. I should look for more semantic oriented conference.</p>
<p>Thanks to Max I am also carrying with me about 600 laptop stickers that the French NPO will be able to redistribute, thanks a lot Max !</p>
<p>Finally I would like to thanks all the people that made this FOSDEM such a good one, starting of course by the FOSDEM people and Frederic who organised the Fedora and JBoss participation this year again. Thanks to all the folks from Grece, Turkey, USA, The Netherlands (yes there were some, although not all were real Dutch), the German community present as ever, the French and Belgium guys who showed up but also our ambassadors from Switzerland, Hungary, Roumania, Italy (I am probably missing some, sorry about that).</p>
<p>I was nice to see all and I am already looking forward to see you next year.</p>
<p>PS: Nicu if you read this, since I could not pay you a beer today, let me know how to be sure you get one. I want the Fedora Comic back !! ;-)</p>Fosdem 2010 Day 1urn:md5:660bbdd9d695e0c523e87363f96c36f82010-02-06T09:57:00+00:002010-02-06T10:58:11+00:00Pierre-YvesGénéralFedoraFOSDEMFOSDEM 2010<p>Just arrived at FOSDEM</p>

<p>I have just arrived at the forum and it feels already nice. Nice blue sky, good people around and while the FOSDEM is opened
for one hour that there are already quite some people.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.pingoured.fr/public/.IMG_1189_m.jpg" alt="booth_fosdem_2010" title="booth_fosdem_2010, Feb 2010" /></p>
<p>The Fedora Booth is located to a new place but quite close to were it was last year. We are still on one of the biggest part
of the even, quite right in the middle. We have space around and for neighbour CentOS and Amarok, but few stands away, the GN
OMe booth also has a Fedora for demonstration.</p>
<p>Now time to look at the planning of the conference to see which one I want to attend. I already checked mine, 17h30 in the Di
stribution room.</p>
<p>Here we go !</p>Fosdem 2010 Day 0urn:md5:95dcb5f20e40cc305a4013ef820337c02010-02-05T09:43:00+00:002010-02-07T20:52:27+00:00Pierre-YvesGénéralFedoraFedora-frFOSDEMFOSDEM 2010<p>On the road to FOSDEM 2010</p>
<p>Sur la route du FOSDEM 2010</p> <p><strong><em>English version</em></strong></p>
<p>FOSDEM, for the third year in a row I am going to FOSDEM. I am looking forward to it, this year again it will be great I am sure ! I'd like to thanks Federic for all the work it did on organising this amazing event.</p>
<p>I have not looked deeply into the program yet all I know is that I will be giving the talk about the french speaking community and its NPO on saturday afternoon.
I will also likely be hanging here and there, looking for people and likely give a hand to the booth. I already know that I need to find the debian maintainer of Guake ;-)</p>
<p>But first things first, first let's arrive to Brussels (I'm still in the train to) then find the hostel and this afternoon I'll be joinning the Fedora FAD.</p>
<p>To all of you who are going to the FOSDEM, see you later !</p>
<p>It's gonna be great ! I'm looking forward :)</p>
<p><br />

<p>Cette année et pour la 3ème année consécutive je suis en route pour le FOSDEM. Cette année encore le FOSDEM s'annonce superbe. Frederic a fais un superbe boulot pour tout organisé, merci à lui !</p>
<p>Je n'ai pas encore étudier le programme des conférences mais je sais que je donnerai la présentation sur la communauté française de Fedora samedi après-midi.
Le reste du temps je pense me promener, profiter des conférences et être un peu au stand sans doute.
Je sais déjà que je dois trouver le mainteneur debian de Guake ;-)</p>
<p>Mais une chose après l'autre, d'abord arriver à Bruxelles, puis l'hotel et cette après-midi le FAD.</p>

<p>Quelques retours du FOSDEM</p> <p><strong><em>French version</em></strong></p>
<p>Et voila de nouveau, déjà un an et pourtant...</p>
<p>Bon d'accord c'est une drôle de manière de commencer un billet censé d'après le titre être consacré au FOSDEM.
Mais c'est pourtant pour moi aussi un petit instant de bilan.</p>
<p>Je m'explique, en janvier 2007 j'ai commencé à tourner un peu sur irc. Je me suis présenté sur la liste de la documentation
et je me suis proposé pour écrire un tuto. Pendant quelques semaines j'ai donc découvert la communauté et appris à connaître ses membres actifs.</p>
<p>C'est donc tout naturellement en me promenant sur #fedora-fr en irc, que j'ai appris que se déroulait un événement où des membres de la communauté Fedora seraient présents...</p>
<p>Les Pays-Bas jusqu'à Bruxelles... 2h en voiture&nbsp;! Faisable !!</p>
<p>Alors bon allons voir un peu la tête des membres de la communauté et me voilà parti pour le FOSDEM.</p>
<p>Voila, c'est ainsi qu'il y a un an tout à commencé, et me revoila aujourd'hui à ce salon.
Aujourd'hui je suis ambassadeur Fedora, et j'y maintiens quelques paquets. Aujourd'hui je connais les membres actifs de la communauté et ce matin en arrivant vers 10h30 je n'étais pas perdu.
Aujourd'hui dans ce salon rempli de personnes venant de toutes horizons et ayant chacune des expériences différentes je ne suis plus perdu.</p>
<p>Alors voila, ce soir alors que la première journée du FOSDEM 2008 s'achève je me prends à écrire ce billet qui est sans doute le plus personnel que j'ai écris sur mon blog depuis que je l'ai.</p>
<p>Pour en revenir au salon, les rencontres sont nombreuses et fortes agréables. On retrouve comme à chaque fois les amis tel que MrTom, Trashy et FedAlex, RemiFedora et notre cher jeune Bouska ainsi que Chitlesh, pour les francophones. On retrouve aussi Dimitri, Spot, Gerold, Joerg et bien d'autres que j'oublie pour les anglophones et germanophones.</p>
<p>Bref une première journée riche en apprentissage, sage en conférence, mais très agréable.</p>
<p><strong><em>English version</em></strong></p>
<p>There we are... one year later...</p>
<p>Ok, it might seems a bit strange to start in this way a post dedicated to the FOSDEM 2008 (cf the title ;)), but this FOSDEM is also for me a time to make a sort of bilan of the last years.</p>
<p>Indeed, it is in January 2008, that I have started to hang around on irc, to subscribe to the fedora-fr-documentation mailing list. And it is naturally while I was hanging around of #fedora-fr that I learned that there was an international event to which several members of the French Fedora community with whom I was chating for some months would be.</p>
<p>Brussels, my place around two hours by car, so I said, let's go and see :)</p>
<p>And this is how one year later I became a Fedora ambassador, a Fedora packager and maintainer. This is the reason why, when I arrived this morning around 10h30, I did not feel lost, the reason why in this building crowded of computer nerds, crowded of people which such different backgrounds and experiences, I do not feel lost any more...</p>
<p>So this week end is a bit of a birthday for me, at least the birthday of something that started at the fosdem 2007 and that I hope will continue for some time.</p>
<p>To say few words about the fosdem itself, the building is crowded, there are a lot of people.
From the fedora side we are quite some people, and it is always nice to meet people such as Trashy, MrTom, FedAlex, RemiFedora, Spot, Gerold, Chitlesh and lot more that I forget here (please forgive me for that).</p>
<p>To conclude before going to sleep, this first day has been a very nice day, lots of talks, lots of fun... I can say, it was a good day !!</p>
